<br />City of Centerville’s <br />Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes <br />February 3, 2021 <br />Fund). All in favor. Motion carried. <br /> <br />In addition, at this point in time, volunteers have signed up for all the Adopt-a-Garden parks with the <br />exception of Acorn Creek Park and also the City Hall building perimeter. <br /> <br />5. Pollinator Garden – Girl Scouts <br /> <br />thth <br />Ms. Tara Cole and Ms. Katie Peterson, representing 4 and 5 grade members of Girl Scout Jr Troop <br />#57269, appeared before the committee to explain that consideration for a Bronze Award project would <br />be a project the Scouts could complete, but also be an ongoing project that others could enjoy. The troop <br />would pay for and maintain the Pollinator Garden. A location would need to be determined and a liaison <br />volunteer to help with the details. Committee Member Seeley volunteered and also suggested that <br />Hidden Spring Park might be an ideal location for a Pollinator Garden. In addition the park is by the <br />lake. Ms. Seeley will work with Ms. Cole and Ms. Peterson regarding a suitable location and other <br />logistics. It was suggested that the Troop Members appear at the April Committee meeting to make a <br />formal proposal to the members. <br /> <br />6. Restrooms in Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park <br /> <br />Committee Member Peterson came across a posting regarding the lack of restrooms in the Laurie <br />LaMotte Memorial Park and perhaps this resident was not aware of the existing restrooms. The restrooms <br />are currently open from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and are unlocked and locked remotely via computer. <br />Committee members would like to see them open during park hours for use by the residents. Also visible <br />signage is needed, including gender based signage, if needed or make both unisex. Concerns about <br />freezing were mentioned; possibly replace faucets. Mr. Statz and Mr. Palzer will evaluate usage of the <br />restrooms and will bring some recommendations to an upcoming meeting. Perhaps placing one or more <br />Porta Pottys' in the park during the winter would be a sensible solution. <br /> <br />VII.
